What is React?

React streamlines the creation of interactive user interfaces by enabling developers to craft clear views for every state of their applications. When data changes occur, React efficiently updates and renders only the necessary components, promoting optimal performance. The adoption of declarative views enhances predictability in coding and simplifies the debugging process. Developers can create self-contained components that manage their own state, which can then be combined to build more complex user interfaces. By implementing the logic for these components in JavaScript instead of templates, React ensures smooth data flow throughout the application while keeping the state distinct from the DOM. Furthermore, React does not enforce strict requirements on your technology stack, allowing you to add new features without having to overhaul your current codebase. Each component in React includes a render() method that takes in input data to determine which elements to display. This example utilizes JSX, an XML-like syntax, and the data input can be accessed through this.props within the render() function. This level of flexibility and adaptability positions React as an invaluable asset in the realm of modern web development, making it easier for developers to innovate and enhance user experiences. The ability to efficiently manage user interfaces sets React apart from many other frameworks.

    The most popular JS framework

    Date: Jul 24 2022
    Summary

    React is the most popular JS framework for a reason. It is flexible, allows for functional components, and has a huge ecosystem. This can also be its downside, as there are simply too many ways to solve certain problems and the ecosystem can become quite fragmented.

    Positive

    - fairly low learning curve
    - huge ecosystem
    - strong performance
    - functional template support
    - typescript support
    - very flexible build options
    - strong community tooling
    - shadow DOM enables great app reactivity
    - free
    - maintained by Facebook

    Negative

    - ecosystem is fragmented, as there are too many popular community libraries
    - lack of first party support for some very important functionality, depending on community solutions instead
    - bigger download size than some frameworks like Vue
    - large projects can become unorganized without careful planning
